The Supreme Court has decided to transfer all ongoing cases related to the Franklin e-voting process to Karnataka High Court. The apex court has stated that it would refrain from intervening in the various petitions that are being heard in lower courts. SEBI had earlier appealed in Gujarat High Court to shift the case from a single-judge bench to another bench in the same court. This case too, would now be heard in the Karnataka High Court. The Supreme Court also said that the cases should preferably be heard within three months.

Quote of the week:

 

 

Here’s to the crazy ones.

The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers.

The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can quote them, disagree with them, glorify or vilify them.

About the only thing you can’t do is ignore them. Because they change things. They push the human race forward. And while some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius.

Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do.
